Product Overview
Stay warm and comfortable with the HeatStar HSSVFRD20 radiant heater by Enerco. Designed as a vent-free, gas-powered heating solution, this 20,000 BTU heater is perfect for supplemental heat in spaces up to 500 square feet. Radiant heaters, also known as infrared heaters, warm objects directly using electromagnetic radiation—similar to how the sun heats. This ensures instant warmth without waiting, making it ideal for uninsulated areas like basements or garages.
Key Features:
- Powerful 20,000 BTU output for rooms up to 500 square feet
- Efficient 99.9% AFUE rating for economical heating
- Built-in low oxygen shut-off sensor for added safety
- Includes wall mount bracket and base feet for flexible installation
- Thermostatic control with five settings for precise temperature adjustment
- Electronic push-button ignition with included AA batteries
- Operates without electricity, ideal for power outages (blower fan requires electricity)
- Durable construction with multiple burner tiles for even heat distribution
Installation Guidelines:
This heater offers versatile installation options with wall-mount brackets and base feet included. For wall mounting, maintain a height of 36 inches from the floor for accessibility. When using the base feet, ensure a minimum clearance of 3 inches from the floor (top of carpet). Additional clearance requirements include:
- 36 inches above the heater
- 10 inches on each side
Fuel Availability:
Available in Natural Gas (HSSVFRD20NGBT). Liquid Propane options are not available for the 2021-2022 season.
Why Choose Radiant Heating?
Radiant heaters warm objects directly, providing immediate comfort similar to standing by a fire. They are particularly effective in uninsulated spaces. However, keep flammable materials like furniture, clothing, and fabric at a safe distance.
Important Notes:
Vent-free heaters cannot be shipped to California. Always consult local codes and regulations before installation. For safety and efficiency, ensure proper clearances and consult a licensed technician if needed.
